Return of the Obra Dinn

Update 1.2.120

What's new in version 1.2.120:


  • Updated engine from Unity 5 to Unity 2017

    I can't believe I shipped this game on Unity 5, which was already old back in 2018. Maintenance is impossible on such an expired version of Unity so this update drags it up to 2017. Slightly more quaint than ancient now. Quaincient.

  • Added Ukrainian language support

    Thanks to Olga Sushytska.

  • Added Arabic language support

    Thanks to Eternal Dream Arabization, who also led me patiently through the labyrinthian funhouse of bidirectional text.


Converting from Unity 5 to Unity 2017 and adding RTL text support required a number of under-the-hood changes so if you see anything weird, please let me know through the support form.

Update to the Update

Version 1.1.110 is now up, with various updates to the Korean localization (thanks to Bada Im) along with some spot fixes for the Simplified Chinese localization.

I've also added a savefile backup system, detailed here, in the hopes of salvaging lost progress after a crash or cloud hiccup.

The full changelog is over here.

Language Update

Six months from the initial release, I've finally added full official Korean, Simplified Chinese, and Traditional Chinese localizations. My original plan was to have these ready a week or two after the original launch back in October 2018 so apologies for the extended delay.

Along with these new localizations, the recently-posted version 1.1.108 also contains a few miscellaneous fixes detailed here:

Please let me know in the discussions or through support if you run into any problems.
